The poster child for anti-DSHEA (Dietary Supplement Health & Education Act of 1994) rabble-rousers, Ephedrine has taken hit after hit in the media for being a potentially deadly dietary supplement.

Is the FDA asleep at the wheel or are the inmates of the supplement industry running the asylum? The truth is out there; you just …

Carbohydrates For Muscle Growth!

January 14, 2020 by AbidineFit

Although I’ve always labeled myself as a protein/amino acid guy, I didn’t realize that this had actually turned me into a bit of an anti-carbohydrates guy. And as one who practices what he preaches, I began dropping my carbohydrates on a regular basis.
